the microwave tek

#407773 - 09/28/01 06:08 PM (22 years, 2 days ago)

So does this whole microwave the casing shit work... i have been reading quite a bit about it, but I am a bit skeptical to try it... does any one have the approx. times for a basic case tray. and possibly some more info aboot it... I know that all microwaves will vary, but im just looking for an idea.

Shroomz, the other shit... the only reason George Clinton sees the Mothership.
Oh yea, this is all just a figment of your imagination. Opinionately speaking of course....

A casing mixture (normally peat moss/ vermiculite and lime )may be pasteurised in the microwave for 4 or 5 minutes, covered with saran plastic cling wrap, this is very effective for my friends

For 2 parts casing use 1.5 parts water, or adjust water content to suit your preference

Spore water or honey water maybe sterilsed effectivley in the microwave for 3 mins on high, my friend uses a normal jar with a METAL lid ( I promise you , this does not do any damage to your microwave ). Leave the lid on the jar loosely or punch 1 small hole with a nail in the lid, this enables steam pressure to escape while minimising the water loss. When it has cooled off ,open the microwave , wipe the top( the lid ) with an alcohol dampened tissue , wait a sec for it to evaporate and then tape over the hole, it is a good idea to wipe your hand s and scissors with alcohol and use a dust mask and hair net, close the doors and windows to minimise air flow.

My friend then removes the jar to his sterile work area, , and adds spores, mycelium etc and this has proved to be very reliable
